Furthermore, ensure you have all the necessary documentation and comply with Polish customs regulations to avoid delays or issues. You may also want to purchase additional insurance coverage to protect your vehicle during transit in case of any unforeseen damage or loss.

Here are a few additional steps to follow upon arrival:

• Pay customs duties, taxes, and fees associated with the shipment.

Once your car has arrived, familiarizing yourself with Poland's driving rules and regulations will be crucial.
